Evening Hours.

All through the day the way with thorns is thick,
My struggling soul beeds meath their piercing prick
Oppressed with care, the earth grows dark night
Thick overhangng clouds shut out the light
But now the twilight hour brings release
And evening comes with lingering breath of peace;
A holy calm steals DER the faintng heart
one after one coming griefs depart.
Along the heavens the way is growing bright,
with golden daisies blossomng into light;
In half eclipse the world of shadow lies,
And hallowed splendor fills the cloudless skies.
Through msts and shades are countless blessings
given,
Dark hours reveal the evening light OF heaven;
When opening paths are spread with flowers fair,
And gems immortal CLEAN through clouds of carel
-ErchdHge.

Your Children.

Are constantly exposed to danger from
Colds, Whooping Cough, Group, and
diseases peculiar to the throat and
lungs. For such ailments, Ayers
Cherry Pcctoral, promptly admins
tered, affords speedy relief and cure.
As a remedy for Whooping Cough,
with which many of our children were
afflicted, we used, during the past win
ter, with much satisfaction, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. For this affection, we
consider this preparation the most eff
cacious of all the medicines which have
come to our knowledge. - Mary Park

difficulty of breathing and invariably
cures the complaint. = David G.. Starks,

in my family for many years, and
have found it especially valuable in
Whooping Cough. This medicine allays

THAT tired feeling afllicts nearly
every one in the spring. The system,
having become accustomed to the brac-
ing air of winter, is weakened by the
warm days of the changing season and
readily yields to attacks of disease.

every part of the body and also expels
all impurities from the blood. Try it

social events Of the year. Miss

The board has levied for school

agreed to give bond that they

would strike a stream of water
that was practically inexhaustiblc.
It's claimed that they have not
done this and that from ten TO

Almost in all places where the govern
ment subsidies the opera ballet school
is maintained in connection with the opera
house. In these schools the little girls
are taught for nothing on Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons, which in Europe are
half holidays in the public schools. The
children are the offspring of the poor, and
and as the ballet is an ancient, honorable
and profitable vocation it is considered
grand good luck to get a child in one of
the schools. OF course in such state of
affairs the ballet teachers have their choice
of pupils and teach only the most apt.
The little ones begin at about s years of
age, and first are taught to walk and then
to posture and TO waltz. They are taught
for two or three hours twice a week, and
it is long time before they begin the
task of developing their muscles by bold
and free leg movements, or Of strengthen
ing their toes SO as to he able to walk
upon them. At about IA years of age
they are regularly employed in the ballet
as supernumeraries, and when they get in
''the lines" as the ballet ranks are called,
they get $40 to $12 month. They have
to begin in the last rank or row furthest
from the footlights, and to work their way
gradually up to the front rank Their pay
increases as they go forward, and they ad-
vance as their skill apd grace and ease of
movement are developed. They dance
seven nights week.
The best schools are i'll Milan, Turin,
Warsaw, Berlin and Vienna. in Berlin
there are eighty or ninety pupils, in
Vienna 100 or more.-New York Sun.
